Germany Emerges as Europe's Top Target in Data Leak Attacks with 92% Increase in 2025
🌍 Germany is becoming a primary target in Europe’s data leak landscape @channel New research from Google Cloud shows that the data leak activity affecting Germany grew by 92% in 2025 compared to 2024, significantly outpacing the European average. (👉 source) This isn’t just more volume. It reflects a shift in how attackers operate: faster, more distributed and increasingly focused on Germany as a high-value target. What’s also clear: risk isn’t evenly distributed. Different company sizes, industries and ecosystems are exposed in very different ways, yet many organisations still treat data leaks as a generic threat. 💭 Curious to hear your perspective:
Are you seeing certain industries or company sizes being targeted more than others?
And are organisations adapting to that or mostly reacting after the fact?
